Players assume assorted classes, completing story scenarios. A year after the launch of the game, its popularity had reached its new max of 30 million accounts. The game uses military-grade AI for beyond realistic interactions. Even after a year, the game is still loaded with many unknown scenarios, monsters and other mysteries.

Prologue
''In ancient times, there was an era known simply as "Divinity". The divines who lived in it lost their lives to ensure a future for their descendants.''

''As time passed, we, their descendants, take on their will and proceed across this new land, weaving the flow of the great, teeming life around us... In this modern era, we explore the miracles of the divines through their relics, left in historical ruins. You are an explorer that rose up with the eastern wind, suffering countless defeats but doggedly journeying onward... and someday, you may fade away with the wind as well.''

''What meaning is there behind your life? Will you wager it on a single sword, or peer into the abyss of sorcery - or will you choose a route outside of battle entirely?''

Everything is before you, and everything is inside of you.

''Now, take a step forward, and blaze a trail to the unknown, the future, and your own potential. Such is the mission of all the divines' children born upon this land.''
